5 Bedroom House in Acacia Bay

'Aigantighe' is the name of the property, meaning 'welcome to our home' in Gaelic, and this applies to you. May our special place rejuvenate you so that you leave refreshed.
Landscaped in a traditional New Zealand manner, this comfortable practical family home has been much loved and used, as well as being an intimate wedding venue. The open plan design living area has both a dining room and lounge opening off. The bedroom wing, besides the four bedrooms sleeping six, has a bathroom, outside shower, two separate toilets and a shower room/laundry.
This spacious house was built for the sun and the views, surrounded by and overlooking the native bush to the lake. From the sunny living areas sliding doors open onto outdoor living and BBQ areas, lawn or several quiet decks. No other house overlooks the gardens. A hot tub, is found outside from the bathroom.
The driveway winds 100 metres through the bush to emerge at the double garaging under the house. The offered accomodation is above the garage and studio level and includes lawns and gardens. Play swingball or lawn croquet! Below the kitchen window is a traditional children's playhouse on poles with swings and sandpit.
The self contained studio, which can accommodate 3 is available in addition (price on request), but after several bad rental experiences, I prefer to utilise that for myself, allowing me to unobtrusively keep an overall eye on the grounds.
All the attractions that bring visitors to Taupo are well known, but from here a formed bush track leads down towards the safe sandy beach of Acacia Bay. Bird song fills the air at dawn and tui, bellbird, grey warbler and fantail abound. Just down the hill are public tennis courts, playground, restaurant, store and beach; in the other direction the iconic mosaic work L'Arte cafe. Taupo town is a mere 5 minutes away by car.
The kitchen garden with its seasonal produce, the orchard apples, nashi, plums and grapes, as well as currants and raspberries, are there to be enjoyed. Eggs can be collected from the hens and the affectionate resident cat (Panda), spoiled. Honey gathered from the hives in the orchard awaits your pleasure in the kitchen. It is a step back in time to when home was a place of contentment. Relax in any number of little private nooks in the sun or shade, and enjoy!

Summary: This place was a great place to stay with the extended family for a lovely Christmas break. The views of Lake Taupo are incredible and the grounds are lovely gardens and native bush. You feel as if you a secluded away from the world! The house itself is very homely, with everything you may require on holiday. Geoff, the host was very accomodating and communicative, always replying promptly to any queries. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay.
